Google has confirmed that they ran a refresh to the Google Panda algorithm on Wednesday, November 21st.

On November 20th, we asked Google about a Panda refresh – since we were fairly confident there was some sort of update. Google told us there was no update but an update would be coming within 7 to 10 days. The update came a day later, not several days later.

This would make this the 22nd Panda refresh we’ve tracked. The 21st Panda refresh was on November 5th and impacted about 1.1% of English queries. This update, Google told us 0.8% of English queries were affected to a degree that a regular user might notice.

All my sites have large drops in traffic starting on the Wendsday because Thursday was the beginning of Thanksgiving weekend. Most had returned to normal traffic by the following Monday.

I didn’t see any changes until this morning. I am in Malta but searching on a US IP on Google US. Potentially its wake.

i’ve been badly affected. My site is a news (oddities, bizarre, humor) site and my visits have been cut by half! I dont’ copy/paste, I search for videos and videos for my posts but the big G has thrown me to the second and third page results! thanks God is Facebook and now most of my visits come from there… too bad G oogle is doing this to us.

It is interesting as everyone who comments here sees a refresh as a bad thing and a drop in rankings – surely for every drop in ranking someone must be rising – so a refresh could be good news for you.

Nice, only if every update was like that.

When someone loses traffic others win it, people simply don’t vanish from the Internet. I guess that is why my site traffic just shoot up,thanks Google.

It’s a silly statistic to quote. Those could be very high traffic queries. Google should state the percent position changes from the 1.1% of queries. That’s the effect.

it badly affected many of the sites, most of them lost their rankings and traffic and some of them gained traffic and ranking.

One of my site also got affected by this update, but now I have figured it out what’s the issue and how to get it back in rankings.
